Your Dreams Are Your Choice

Your Dream Doer Mission:  Find a Way to DO What You Dream Today

Today was just a regular, ordinary day.  I went to work, came home, did a workout.  Nothing special.  Then I did some reading to learn more about how to set and achieve goals.  (Learning is so much fun!)

After a late dinner, I finally buckled down and spent an hour writing my book.  I wrote six pages in that hour and got to exactly the place in the story I wanted to get to.

I didn’t have to write today.  Nobody told me I had to write a certain amount of words or a certain amount of pages.  Nobody is checking up on me to see if hit my writing goal.  Nobody is even going to read the words I wrote today.  (This draft will go through A LOT of editing before anybody would even want to read it!)

So why did I write when it would have been easier to do nothing?

Because I have made a choice to do something about my dream of being an author.  This dream ‘fits’ me because it allows me to use my natural strengths and abilities.  That’s what makes writing fun for me. 

You have the power to make that same choice.  You have the power to choose to do what you dream every regular ordinary day.  You don’t have to wait for someone to give you permission.  You don’t have to wait until you’re old enough.  You don’t have to wait until you know enough. 

You can start NOW.  You can always find a way to do what you dream when you stick to your strengths.

So go.  Find something you love to do and go do it.  Turn your regular ordinary day into a Dream Doer Day!

To your dreams,
Bonnie Jean
